check the man page for "led".  in a sparc classic i had the led blinked to
identify that it was running OpenBSD, long ago with an earlier release of
the operating system.    the current man page says sysctl(2) variable
"machdep.led_blink" now blinks based on the load average on most systems
by setting this parameter to a non-zero value.
